Aquaponics Training with Green Skies
Greenskies was born out of the desire to provide career opportunities for ASD youths. We understand that youths with ASD may face unique challenges when it comes to finding employment. LoveXpress believes that everyone deserves the chance to pursue their passions, that’s why we’ve created a program specifically designed to cater to their needs.
Through Greenskies, we offer a unique opportunity for youths to learn about aquaponics farming, a sustainable and innovative method of farming that combines fish farming and hydroponics. The repetition and clear routines of aquaponics farming provide a sense of security and structure that make it the perfect introduction career for youths with ASD.
Urban agriculture is the future of the world’s food supply chain, and the symbiosis of fish and vegetables is an innovative and sustainable method that combines modern science and technology with environmental protection. Aquaponics farming is more structured and modular than traditional soil farming, making it easier for SEN/autistic youth to learn and operate.
We offer workshops and career training for youths interested in pursuing a career in aquaponics farming, providing them with the skills and knowledge necessary to succeed in this growing industry. We also work with schools and NGOs to set up aquaponics systems, providing ASD youths with the opportunity to work as a construction and events assistant during workshops.
Through the Greenskies program, we’ve seen the transformative power of providing opportunities to youth with ASD. By investing in the potential of our youth, we believe that we can create a brighter future for all.
Learn our craft
At Green Skies, we are dedicated to offering employment practice training and job opportunities for ASD individuals. Through our career program, participants have the chance to learn valuable skillsets in aquaponics technology, including hands-on experience in areas such as farming and system repair.
Our aim is to provide individuals with ASD with a supportive environment to gain knowledge and practical experience in this upcoming innovative field.
